There are shrines that teleport you. There is a pedistal that you use to activate it. There is one by where you were dropped off and had to head to Farglow. There is another one on the hill above the ruined church.

The things with three sides and asks for a password are not usable. If they are, I haven't figured it out yet.

Every time there I run into trouble on the road, there is always a dwarf at the bottom of it. Don't they know how to drive above ground?
